Definitions

• an apparatus comprising a processing system configured to cause the apparatus to perform any of the embodiments as described in the appended claims.
• Figure 2, 4 and 5 show scenarios applicable for advertisement service, according to some embodiments.
• the eNB 102 may control a cellular radio communication links established between the eNB 102 and each of terminal devices 104A and 104B located within the cell 100. These communication links marked with solid arrows may be referred as conventional communication links or as cellular communication links for an end-to-end communication, where the source device transmits data to the destination device via the eNB 102. Therefore, the user terminals 104A and 104B may communicate with each other via the eNB 102.
• the terminal device may be a terminal device of a cellular communication system, e.g. a computer (PC), a sensor, a laptop, a palm computer, a mobile phone, or any other user terminal (UT) or user equipment (UE) capable of communicating with the cellular communication network.
• PC computer
• UT user terminal
• UE user equipment
• the node 202 may determine whether to accept the request or not. The determination may be based on predefined rules, such as is the requesting device in the same service area, is it served by a certain operator, for example, as will be described later. Also the history information regarding the requesting ARD 212 may be taken into consideration. For example, if it is detected, based on the history file, that the requesting ARD 212, or the AD 210 to which the request refers to, is known to misbehave (such as transmitting false advertisements), the request may be rejected. Thereafter, upon accepting the request, the node 202 may cause transmission of information to the at least one advertisement-receiving device, wherein the information indicates control information for enabling the D2D communication with the at least one advertising device. Such use of activation request to receive advertisements from a specific AD 210, may advantageously enable an authorized advertisement-receiving device 212 to facilitate in authentication of the specific active advertising device 210.
• the node 202 need not send all of the generated keys to the ARD 212, because the AD 210 may also provide some information regarding the security key(s), as will be explained later. However, in one embodiment, all the generated security key(s) are transmitted to the ARD 212. The transmission of the security key information to the devices 210/212 may take place by any secure and reliable communication known to a skilled person.
• the first key may expire at the end of T1
• the second key may expire at the end of T2
• the last key may expire at the end of the interval T3.
• the plurality of security keys and the security key update interval T may be communicated by the node 202 to the advertisement receiving device 212 as well.
• the node 202 may transmit information indicating only the current security key and the security key update interval to the advertisement-receiving device 212.
• the next security key is derived from the previous security key.
• the second security key may be derived from the first security key without explicitly indicating the second security key.
• the ARD 212 may be configured, by the user, to receive only some sort advertisements which the user is willing to receive.
• Figure 7 illustrates a method from the advertising device point of view.
• the method starts in step 700, wherein the advertising device 210 locating in the service area 216 establishes a communication connection to the network node 202.
• step 702 at least one common security key is received from the network node 202.
• the at least one security key is for encrypting at least part of the data which is to be transmitted through the D2D communication link 214.
• Each security key may be valid only for a predetermined validity period and common to those at least one advertising device and at least one advertisement-receiving device within the service area 216 which fulfill the predetermined criteria, as explained earlier.
• the AD 210 may establish the D2D communication connection 214 with the at least one advertisement-receiving device 212 fulfilling the predetermined criteria.
• establishing the D2D communication connection may refer to dedicated D2D communication links or to D2D multicasting/broadcasting. Consequently, the AD 210 may in steps 704 and 706 encrypt data on the basis of a currently valid security key and causing transmission of the encrypted data to the at least one advertisement-receiving device fulfilling the predetermined criteria through the D2D communication, respectively.
• the currently valid security key may be known by means of sequential numbering of the keys and of the validity periods, for example.
• the control circuitry of the apparatus 900 may comprise a key generator circuitry 910 for generation of at least one common security key.
• the control circuitry 902 may also comprise authentication circuitry 91 1 for performing device authentication by managing the allocation of the security keys to only those devices which fulfill the predetermined criteria.
• the predetermined criteria may be stored in the memory 904 and the authentication circuitry 91 1 may select appropriate criteria from the memory 904. The criteria to be selected may informed from the network provider, for example.
• the circuitry 91 1 may also monitor the validity of the devices by analysing the reports obtained from the ARDs 212, for example.
• a validation circuitry 914 may be for managing the validity periods of each security key, for example.
• the apparatus 900 may then transmit and receive data to/from the AD 210 and/or the ARD 212 via the TRX 906.
• the data may relate to the security keys, reports, activation requests, activation accepts and/or rejections, D2D control information, device discovery information, multi-operator issues, etc.
• the apparatus comprises processing means configure to carry out embodiments of any of the Figures 1 to 1 1 .
• the at least one processor 902,1002, or 1 102, the memory 904, 1004, or 1 104, and the computer program code form an embodiment of processing means for carrying out the embodiments of the invention.
